We Keep a First Aid Kit in Every Van — Here's Why That Matters

Safety Isn’t Just About Locks

At Pro On The Go Locksmith, we're known for getting people back into their homes, cars, and businesses quickly. But there’s another kind of emergency we quietly prepare for — the ones that have nothing to do with locks.

Whether we’re responding to a car lockout in the middle of the night or helping a family locked out of their home during a heatwave, we never know what kind of situation we’ll encounter. That’s why every Pro On The Go van is stocked with a fully equipped first aid kit.

Here’s why it matters — and why no mobile service vehicle should hit the road without one.


Real-World Situations Where It’s Saved the Day

We don’t advertise it. We don’t charge for it. But it’s made a difference more than once:

  • Helping a mother calm her child after a minor fall during a home lockout.

  • Assisting a jogger with a cut near a locked car at Bayshore Boulevard.

  • Providing water and a cold compress during a summer roadside lockout near Ybor City.

We’re not paramedics. But we’re often the first to arrive on a stressful scene. Having basic first aid ready lets us serve not just your locks — but your life.


What’s Inside Our First Aid Kits?

Every kit in our vans is checked weekly and includes:

  • Antiseptic wipes

  • Bandages of all sizes

  • Burn gel

  • Cold packs

  • CPR mask

  • Gloves

  • Tweezers

  • Eye wash

  • Tourniquet

  • Emergency water

  • Flashlight

  • Quick medical contact guide

This isn’t a random drugstore kit — it’s a carefully selected, field-ready emergency response tool for real-world Tampa conditions.


Tampa Heat, Tourists, and the Unexpected

Tampa’s weather can go from humid to dangerous in minutes — especially for tourists unfamiliar with the area.

We’ve helped elderly couples stuck in their cars, children overheating after a theme park trip, and workers cut on broken key fragments. In each case, our van-based first aid was the critical first response before help arrived.


Why This Reflects Our Whole Philosophy

Most locksmiths don’t think about first aid.

We do.

Why?

Because we don’t just unlock doors — we protect peace of mind.

We treat every situation like it’s our own family that’s locked out. Having a first aid kit is just one of the small decisions that reflect our commitment to being Tampa’s most trusted mobile locksmith.

FAQ: First Aid & Locksmithing

Q: Do most locksmiths carry first aid kits?
A: No — but we believe they should. We do it because safety doesn’t end with locks.

Q: Can I request emergency help even if I just feel unsafe?
A: Yes. If you’re locked out and it’s hot, late, or scary — we’ll treat it like a real emergency and show up fast.

Q: Do you offer water or supplies during service?
A: Always. We keep bottled water and cold packs on board — especially during the summer.
